How To Buy Your Way Out Of A Murder Rap
U.S. Pays, Apologizes to Kin of Afghan Victims Killed in Mass Shooting
The attack comes one day after the U.S. military paid compensation and apologized to the families of nineteen people killed and dozens wounded by U.S. Marines in March. The Marines fired indiscriminately on a crowd of civilians after a suicide car bomber and gunmen ambushed a US convoy. On Tuesday, U.S. army brigade commander Colonel John Nicholson told victims’ families he is “deeply, deeply ashamed.” Colonel Nicholson says he delivered payments of around two thousand dollars to the families of the dead. Meanwhile Afghan lawmakers have passed a bill calling for a halt to all foreign military operations unless they’re coordinated with the local government.
